Relationship Information, Quotes, and Trivia

Where and/or how did Sun Myung Moon and Myung Hee Kim meet?

Why did Sun Myung Moon and Myung Hee Kim break up?

Sun's church does not regard their relationship as infidelity, because Sun Kil Choi is said to have already left her husband by that time. Korean divorce law in the 1950s made legal divorce difficult and drawn out, so much so that when Myung Hee Kim became pregnant she was sent to Japan to avoid legal complications for Moon. There she was either raped or seduced by a Japanese man, and due to shame did not return to Moon.
